⚠️ Most common mistake: Rounding the lower back on the lift-off, which puts the spine in a weak position under heavy load. Yanking the bar off the floor without pulling the slack first, leading to a jerky pull and missed reps. Letting the bar drift away from the shins, which lengthens the lever arm and crushes the lower back. Hyperextending at the top instead of finishing with a tight glute squeeze and stacked rib cage.
💪 Where you should feel it: Mainly in the Selkälihakset.
